Working alongside an existing Credit Controller, you will play a key role in proactively managing and reducing outstanding debt while maintaining high standards of client care and regulatory compliance.

• Report to and collaborate with the Finance Manager and Finance Director to review and improve credit control processes, compliance standards and client care practices.
• Maintain accurate records of all client communications and payment arrangements.
• Escalate complex or overdue account issues to the Finance Manager where appropriate.
• Ensure full compliance with all relevant sector regulations, data protection and anti-money laundering policies (full training provided).

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Credit Control role.
• A strong understanding of credit control processes and debt recovery best practices.
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Experience working within a professional services environment (desirable, though not essential).
• Excellent communication skills, both verbally and in writing, with a confident and approachable manner.
• Strong organisational skills, high attention to detail and the ability to prioritise tasks to meet deadlines.
• A calm, professional approach when working under pressure.

What's on Offer?

• Collaborative and supportive finance team within an established professional services business
• Full training provided on industry-specific regulatory compliance
• Opportunity to contribute to process improvements alongside senior finance leadership
